Fabulous chicken sandwich! I have been a fan since their old (now closed) restaurant. Love the juicy chicken and savory breading. I think it's one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The location in the S&W cafeteria is downtown and has a cafeteria style. read more

This is one of the best fried chicken sandwich spots I've ever eaten at. I heard that Buxton Chicken Palace was a place to get the best fried chicken sandwiches in Asheville and as you southerners would say: Y'ALL weren't messin' around. It was legit. LE-GIT. The first time we came here, we just had some chicken tenders, which were fantastic. They were juicy, meaty and flavorful. I also tried their Cheerwine slushie, which was my first time trying Cheerwine pop, and it tasted like a mix of Big Red and Dr. Pepper. IYKYK! But I made a note to later on try the chicken sandwich, so visited on a different day to get their famous fried chicken sandwich with waffle fries for the flight home. Good thing I did, too, because my flight ended up being delayed and I didn't get home 'til a day later, BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. The fried chicken sandwich and waffle fries with their housemade BBQ sauce was awesome! The chicken was moist, tender and had a nice hint of spice to it. It came with pimento cheese, which was my first time having this cheese and it was creamy and good. I liked the BBQ sauce with, as it tasted like a creamy honey mustard versus a standard BBQ sauce. Waffle fries were well seasoned. I recommend trying Buxton Chicken Palace for their signature fried chicken sandwich in Asheville. Located in the S&W Market, it's a casual spot where you can get your fried chicken goodies and sit among history in the art deco building it's located in. What's not to love? I would happily visit again. read more

Buxton is a pretty solid chicken place! It definitely hits that chicken sandwich craving. I usually just get the Original but this time, the guy at the counter suggested the Club tossed in Nashville hot sauce and it was LEGIT. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a nice flavorful crust on the outside. The waffle fries are deliciously seasoned and perfectly crispy. I also enjoy their array of sauces for dipping/pouring. My issue lies within the pimento cheese. This visit, the pimento cheese wasn't creamy AT ALL. It looked like shredded cheese from the bag slapped on top of the sandwich. The combination of shredded cheese and sliced cold cheese that was not melted was a little off putting. I would have loved for the crispiness of the chicken sandwich to be balanced with a creamy or melty cheese to really take it to the next level. read more

I only wanted a snack, so I just got their seasoned waffle fries. I wasn't expecting much, because while waffle fries are great, they are fairly straight forward. Well I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor and the crunch on these fries were amazing. I will certainly be going back to try the chicken sandwich. They really looked amazing. read more

Pretty legit amount of chicken tenders for it to go Meal. Counter service and the person waiting on me was very nice and helpful. Pretty sure she gave me an extra sauce for free. They came out super super quick and fresh and hot. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nothing super mind blowing about them but a solid choice nonetheless. I like that this is in the S&W cafeteria and super accessible to downtown. Also feels like one of the more affordable places these days read more

This food was great! Our favorite was the spicy chicken. The chickens were huge and provided enough to fill a stomach. It was about a 10-15 minute wait when it was busy. The restaurant was in a food court with a second floor, we didn't go to the second floor but there was good music going on in the back ground. read more

I got the basic chicken sandwich Nashville hot style and it was sooo good. Definitely a bit on the spicy side, but luckily there's a tap room upstairs you can take your food to so you can have an ice cold beer to tame the heat. I also highly recommend getting some fried pickles. Even the regular size is enough to share! read more

Jordan, the owner, made my sandwich. A friendly guy and a heck of a chef. The chicken and fries were excellent. The breading was perfect and light, the pickles were a great combination of crunch and flavor, and I walked away completely satisfied. The spice wasn't overwhelming, as some places tend to do. It was flavorful and delicious...and the dipping sauces are a must. If you find yourself looking for a reasonably priced, flavorful and delicious meal, stop here. read more

Similar name to the former bar b Que restaurant. Came here on a Friday to grab dinner to take back to the hotel so I could sit outside. The chicken sandwich was delicious but could have done without the fries. Highly recommend coming here for lunch! read more

Being a 'chicken palace' there are almost no options for vegetarians however I have stopped by to grab a side of fries and a Cheerwine bourbon slushy and I am absolutely obsessed with both. My favorite dipping sauce is the white BBQ but I am big on sauce so I also enjoy dipping into ranch and honey mustard. Their sauces are great. You can also get a small side of pimento cheese. I would love to see them add a vegetarian chix option to their entrée offerings, however I do not foresee that happening. I will be back for more fries and boozey slushies. read more

We love the service and good quality. Flavors really awesome. Sauces yummy. Prices where they should be. Curious if they're still open now that Burton BBQ closed and the original owner left town. Idk bc it's been a while since we ate here. read more

This place has the nicest, quickest, and most friendly staff! They move quick, and the do it all with a smile! The chicken sandwich is better than one you'll find ANYWHERE else. The breading is crispy, the chicken is juicy, the pickles are perfect, the bread is soft & the sauces just top it off perfectly! The chicken 'nuggets' are big, juicy and so crispy! The sauces really knock it out of the park. LOVE being able to have cheerwine, and the fries were seasoned to perfection, hot, and crispy yet so good! read more

Ordered my chicken sandwich. Took almost 30 mins to receive. Found out they gave me the wrong sandwich. Didn't give me pickles or dipping sauces as advertised. Staff wasn't great. Sandwich was good but not worth the hassle. read more

This place is in the cool S&W market in downtown Asheville. It's remodeled from an old subway entry. It's clean. The customer service is ok. We ordered the club fried chicken sandwich and the Buxton original with their seasoned fries. We received regular fries and not their waffle fries. Although we didn't get their waffle fries (they may have run out) the fries were perfectly seasoned and crisp. They were delish. The sandwiches were yummy as well. My husband who was born and raised in the south, is picky about his fried chicken. He enjoyed these sandwiches and even said he'd come back for some more. That's is saying a lot. The sandwich was crispy and great flavor. read more

Located in the S & W Market - a beautiful historical art-deco architectural building conveyed to a food hall- this joint is a spin-off locale for the Buxton Hall fried chicken sandwich. I was very excited to try the chicken nuggets and they did not disappoint. Super light breading & you can just tell the chicken is high quality. I tried the ranch and honey mustard dipping sauces and both were on point. You also get seasoned waffle fries and a real fountain Coke! The fries were a little flabby for my liking and could have used a bit longer in the fryer but I did love the seasoning. Can't wait to try other spots in the food hall! read more

Amazing! Found this little gem while strolling through town. We aren't from Asheville and actually live in SC so while this may be normal to the locals, it was a nice find for us. The chicken was so good. It didn't taste like fast food or even the standard often frozen chicken breasts you get at sit down restaurants. Something was just better about it. I got their limited special of the Buxton Chicken Parm and my husband got the Classic Chicken Sandwich. The waffle fries were the best we've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

Might be the best Buffalo Chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. Period. It's counter service at S&W but don't let that fool you, when they say the best on Ashville, believe it. read more

I am thoroughly confused why this place has 3 stars. This was rated the top chicken sandwich in America and delivered. Gloriously juicy and I have no idea how they do it. The paprika-ish seasoning on the waffle fries were second to none as well. Pictured is my sandwich featuring just a drizzle of hot honey... read more

Chicken sandwiches were excellent! It's a food court environment. Food court was less than inviting.

We came here for a quick bite before heading out to the art festival on Memorial Day weekend. Located in the S&W market, it was conveniently located in downtown Asheville, and easy to find. We got the Buxton original chicken sandwich, which was a generous piece of chicken that was crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. The pickles had a great crunch to them, and the palace sauce was so tasty. My sandwich came out just like it looks in the picture! With so many chicken sandwich places around these days, I came in thinking I would get a tried and true chicken sandwich, but I left blown away by how great it tastes. The fact that there was no picture to post bears witness to the fact that this sandwich could not be put down. read more

This place is housed in a beautiful old building with fantastic architecture. Great vibe and lots of seating. The chicken here is amazing. Got the chicken tenders meal and honestly it's enough for two people or two meals. The chicken is so juicy and tender and the nuggets are huge! Great waffle fries and lots of drink options. The employees are very upbeat and super friendly. Great service. read more

I don't rave about chicken sandwiches. This place made me rethink what poultry I have been eating all these years. Heaven on a bun. The chicken was tender juicy spiced perfectly and fried up perfectly. Had a special hotlanta sandwich with pickled jalapeños that almost made me cry tears of culinary joy. Located in a gorgeous food hall make sure to visit the best goddamn chicken place you'll ever have the pleasure of dining in. read more

Buxton Original was perfectly fried. The white sauce was a good combo. Reasonable price for a sandwich.

Purchase a sandwich to go that was raw/inedible on 6/23 and made several attempts to contact the business by phone and their email link on the same day. No response from the business.7/7 returned to the business to speak to a manager for a refund and show her the emails and picture of the raw sandwich along with my credit card receipt. Her only comment was it is against policy to refund the money and ask for her supervisor would not give me the information for her supervisor. Terrible business, food and frontline supervisor. Never again read more

Was looking through the kitchen window as I waited for my fries, came out of a frozen bag (whatever), went into the oil, heavy set guy takes it out and starts poking at the fries to see if it's cooked with no gloves, proceeds to serve them. read more

Took my small kids here and had a fantastic experience.

First off, excellent chicken sandwich, as good, if not better than that closed on Sunday place. Second, tasty nuggets that are thick as my thighs. Third, sauces are boss. Fourth, boozie slushies. Do I really need to go on? read more

Nearly every Tuesday I visit this place because their fried chicken sandwich is wonderful. The reason I go on Tuesday is because they had a fried pickle option to substitute for french fries. Today, sadly, it was onion rings. Who cares about onion rings? Their fried pickles and palace barbecue sauce are so wonderful. Please bring back! read more

We came here based upon the reviews for the chicken sandwich. It was good but not great. Our order was filled so fast it was obvious the chicken was cooked beforehand. Although the chicken was tender, it was almost tasteless. The fries were good but you don't receive very many. Buxton's chicken sandwich does not hold a candle to Sand Hill Kitchen. read more

Quite possibly the worst food I have ever put in my mouth. I took one bite out of the seasoned "waffle" fries (they gave me regular potato fries after advertising waffle fries) and could not handle it anymore. I ordered the FRIED CHICKEN salad sandwich and received grilled chicken smothered in a weird dressing. There wasn't even grilled chicken on the menu. The bun was not toasted either. My partner ordered the classic fried chicken sandwich, and his sandwich was also covered in a strange dressing and the bun was cold. This dressing is not advertised on the menu. Just as a warning: the food hall closes at 9pm, but this place was already shut down at 8. Would not recommend, you would be wasting your time. read more

I ordered the classic chicken sandwich combo. Came with pink chicken and cold soggy fries. Never again.
